   Ok, one instance.  How about the big picture?   Hey, I am as big   
   a BG fan as anyone.  I  *love*  the stuff, my wife too.   Like I said   
   though, I go to many many venues in many places, and overall, we   
   are looking at all-white and very mature numbers.   Next time you   
   are in Walmart, go to the music CDs.  Many shelves and   
   all kinds of music and many people buying & looking.  If you are   
   lucky, you may see a few Bluegrass CDs and one old white fart   
   looking at them, sometimes.  OH, that old white fart is probably me.   
   I was visiting kin folk in NY state and set the sales girl in music   
   into peels of laughter, when I asked where the Bluegrass CDs were.   
   She thought only southern hillbillies liked the stuff, and there I   
   was in my business suit.  Too funny.   BTW, that particular Supercenter   
   never has carried any BG music, in any form.
